Have you adopted the laid back Schlitz Beer life-style? Well, here’s to hoping that Schlitz is on a “roll” and that they “drum up” enough support to distribute their beers into other cities. Somehow we don’t really think that’s going to be a problem, but work with us here…we’re trying to “stick” to the point. Beer makes things good. Schlitz makes them great. And so we give you the final “Beer-mercial with Brian” CHEERS!

We’re taking a short break from our Schlitz tribute “beer-mercials” but continuing our tour of Wisconsin brews with this next one. Spotted Cow Ale from New Glarus Brewing Co. located in (you guessed it) New Glarus, WI. This company makes some fine beers. One of our favorite beers from them is their Organic Revolution. We’re not sure how they make those 4 ingredients taste so good. Anway…on to the COW…you don’t hear that everyday….er….or maybe you do if you’re a farmer. Not sure how many farmers we have reading but….cheers to you…..you get up earlier than we could imagine. Check out this episode of BeerSchoolT.V. for more on Spotted Cow Ale.

We give you….Schlitz “Beer-mercial” #3. Some pretty amazing lines in this one. “It’s like a disco in your mouth my friends” ….. “There’s a bubble party going on in the bottle” ~ Both of these are soon to become household sayings. Please remember….none of these are scripted, this is just what comes out of Brian’s brain bones. Someone…call the Schlitz people…quick!

As we stated a few days ago…Schlitz is coming back ya’ll. It’s “the beer that made Milwaukee famous” and if you’re in WI it’s the cool beer to drink. So much history! It’s the beer Josh’s grandfather drank in the 40s…that’s going WAY back.
With the return of this beer, we felt that it was our duty to film a small series of commercials (or Beer-mercials) that reflect the layed back, party lifestyle of those classic ads. And now, for beer-mercial #2…Brian sings a song about Schlitz.

Josh was recently up in Wisconsin and he brought back some Schlitz beer. It’s coming back ya’ll. Schlitz was very popular back in the 60’s and 70’s until they changed the formula and it faded away. It’s “the beer that made Milwaukee famous” and right now that’s the only place you can get it again (for now). We were hanging out in the teachers lounge the other day and we started digging around the ol internets and found some pretty awesome old Schlitz t.v. commercials…….this got us thinking :) With the return of this beer, we felt that it was our duty to film a small series of commercials (or Beer-mercials) that reflect the layed back, party lifestyle of those classic ads. So, without further ado, we give you beer-mercial #1….Brian’s throwing a party ya’ll….and he wants you to come.

XINGU :: Josh was at Whole Foods with his wife last weekend…buying cupcakes. Yeah…he’s a cupcake guy. Really not sure what else to say about that. To make up for it he grabbed a Make Your Own” 6 pack….insert sarcastic quote from Brian here :: “How buying a 6 pack of beer ’makes up’ for Josh being a cupcake guy is beyond me” …anyhoo, grocery stores that have a create your own 6′er are great. It’s a good way to try new beers or to just have some variety. Buying an entire 6-pack is quite a commitment so if you’re not sure…make your own!
One of the beers in Josh’s 6 pack reminded us of a post from this past Summer. Come along with us as we re-live this wonderful beerschoolblog memory. CLICK HERE
We really like this beer! Xingu is good stuff. Thanks again to Diana for the beer-gestion. If you haven’t taken us up on the “tasters” thing then click over to the page and leave your beer-gestion. We’ll try it and film it. Better not suck…or you’ll get detention.

What a game! Seriously, one of the best Super Bowls of all time. The only way it could have been better was if the Redskins won (Brian’s team) or the Packers won (Josh’s team). But, both teams sucked this year. Oh well.
Congrats to the Steelers and their crazy fans. In their honor, go enjoy one of these (if you live in Pennsylvania…since it’s not available many other places)…Iron City from Pittsburgh Brewing Co.
They usually run out of it when the Steelers are in the Super Bowl. If you can’t get it where you are, then grab some Yuengling Lager (made in PA) and wave your terrible towel (or whatever towel you can get your hands on) in honor of the World Champion Steelers.
